I thought that this book was okay. It had a lot to do with being quiet, and the different types of "quiet" we experience. Things such as being quiet because you see something shocking, or being quiet in on a ride at the top of a rollercoaster, are all different types of being quiet. This book could be used for students in any elementary grade. I would use this in my field at the beginning of a school year. I would want my students to know how important it is to be quiet at appropriate times. I think this book is important for students of this age, because they like to talk and they may not always talk at the right times! This book is cute also due to the pictures, and the use of cute animals! This is just a really adorable old-fashioned book I want to read to my students. The animals in the book are so darn cute I could just fall out. This book shows students the different kinds of quiet. It’s perfect for those students who are just getting into school. I would use this book in my class first of all to show why quiet is important sometimes. I wonder if there is a book that shows why loud is good…sometimes too!! I think little kids would get into this book especially before bed or naptime. One thing I could also do is ask my students, if I have a kindergarten class, if they could give me some examples of what are some other types of being quiet. It’s a good book that sends a positive message. Sometimes kids just need to learn what quiet really is any why sometimes it can be a good thing for them too.
Great book for a quiet afternoon - makes me think this is a good just-before-a-nap book. Yawn...
